[Touch Pro, Fuze ROM Development] jmckeejr:
This is the newest ROM in the Chrome series. It has all of the bells and whistles. It is built using SYS/XIP from Topaz build 21042, and some extra parts from various builds to make it the best that it can be ;) Thanks to all the cooks here for their dedication to providing excellent ROMs and sharing information. And thanks to everyone else who has provided skins and software. If you would like your name included here, PM me and I will gladly add it.

Please READ and do your research before flashing any ROM to your device.

THIS ROM IS FOR GSM ONLY!!

Update: 5/12/09. Added new Hybrid builds. I have gotten the Notification Manager to work on 20771 FULLY. This means we have icons in a build lower than 21xxx :D This also means we lose the option to choose snooze time. It will be same layout as newer builds LSK=Snooze RSK=Dismiss :( I am trying to find the solution to having snooze options in newer builds, but need help.

The second hybrid is with snooze option but no icons. Both builds are using 20771 SYS(except OS folder) and 21042 XIP. I can post some screens tomorrow hopefully. Just wanted to get it out there to get some feedback. PLEASE NOTE: This is also for testing purposes to see how the ROM performs as a hybrid build. Report back on battery life, speed, etc. IMPORTANT: This ROM comes with TP2 keyboard, which is known to have some bugs. It is possible to use this without too many issues though. Here's a quick guide:

-When entering number fields, the keyboard stays in number mode. You must open opera and just enter the ur field to get QWERTY back. With XT8 enabled, the hardware keyboard is slightly buggy, but working. Everything works except FN. There is a trick to it. You have to hit FN, then DEL(backspace), then FN and your good to go for a while. I have included shortcuts in tweaks for enable/disable XT9. Please refrain from posting keyboard bugs, but if you really like the ROM and need another Keyboard I can put one in later.

Download: Snooze version has no icon, but Right soft key menu. Icons version has icons but no menu for snooze. I will add more info tomorrow, but I got to get to bed. The upload should be done soon.

UPDATE: 5/5/09. Added RC2 with font fix as well as added some applications.

Additional Apps in RC2 and 20771 Hybrid TEST builds

-Facebook v.16...................-Netflix(will be cab next time round)

-cleanRAM..........................-Total Commander

-Google Translator...............-Chess

Note for RC2, I may have left the shortcuts from my personal build in programs tab. Just remove them and replace wth your programs.

Note for TEST build: See post 4 for more details.

______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

You will find the ROM is already tweaked, fixed, setup and whatever. No need to go adding unneeded tweaks and fixes to it. Please use the ROM for a while before ading any software or additional fixes. You may just find that the things you usually do with another ROM is not necessary here. I have increased cache sizes, applied almost every tweak that will improve performance and battery, and cooked in a variety of programs. As this is an RC1 release, please leave feedback so that we can make it better.

You will find that this build does use a bit more RAM than previous Chrome ROMs. The pagepool is set higher to get the most from the device. It is not locked, and can easily be changed.

Please post any bugs and steps you took to remedy if applicable. I will be maintaining and updating this ROM for a while and am making new builds all the time. Any suggestions are welcome(this includes skins), but just because you suggest something does not mean it will end up in ROM. I am trying to make a fast stable ROM with most of my apps cooked in to make it easy on myself. Just decided to share this version because I thought it was cool.

Select your poison. ROMs should be named accordingly. I will not direct link here, this gives you the chance to see other ROMs as well as daily builds when available. I will also start to upload add-ons to skinzone for easy access.

EDIT: Temporary Mirror for No Manila build

I noticed a lot of downloads in previous version, but only posts from 3-4 people. If you like the ROM, let me know so I can continue to make more. It is kind of rude to download someone's hard work and not even give a thank you. If you have a problem with anything, I am always willing to help get things straightened out. That said, ENJOY the ROM.

If you like my hard work and would like to donate you can donate to Skinzone here, or XDA-Developers here. And if you really like it, you can buy my wife something to get her off my back here . Any of these are welcomed, but not necessary. This is a hobby for me, and I enjoy it most of the time. My wife on the other hand does not ;)
